The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. The 74LS170 contains 16 high-speed, low-power, transparent D-type latches arranged as four words of four bits each, to function as a 4×4 register file.

74LS170 Features
- Simeltaneous Read/Write Operation
- Expandable TO 512 Words Of n-Bits
- Typical Acess Time Of 20 ns
